Beach stay 2026
Pros:

I loved being so close to the beach and restaurants that we walked everywhere. The room was very tidy and accessible to enter it was great to see the view and the staff gave us a warm welcome. The reception staff member on Tuesday was amazing, she answered any question I asked. The other staff ie the cleaning crew, who I met while there were bright and energetic.

Cons:

The noise but to be fair, they were improving a unit, we were given a gift voucher to the surf club, and a mini champagne, they also offered a room away from the reno of the unit and they had no control over someone tripping the fire alarm (which the staff were very much in control of the situation making sure everyone had evacuated the building. They came up and made contact with us to ensure we knew what was going on)

Pros:

Close walk to all the facilities around.
Swimming pool and spa on site.

Cons:

No ac in the room. However, there was a fan in the room and ac in the lounge. This helped keep the room cooler. It's autumn season, so I don't know if it will help in summer.

The perfect beach getaway - blend of beach vibes with renovation
Pros:

We loved it!! Best location in all of Mooloolaba. The staff were fantastic, and the apartment was the perfect blend between beach shack and renovated. We cannot wait to come again.
